The Forres ASG cross country competition organised by the Forres Harriers takes place this Saturday 5^th March in Grant Park for P4 – 7. You can just turn up on the day to enter. It is a free event and Forres Harriers are keen to encourage as many pupils as possible, of all abilities, to have a go. With so many of you building up stamina in the Daily Mile and taking part in the lunch time club we are hoping lots of you will join in the fun! There are individual trophies and an overall school trophy. It is a great way to demonstrate the Values of Motivation and Challenge from Applegrove pupils! You can register (sign up) from 10am in the Cricket Pavilion at Grant Park and the races start between 11am and 11.45am. The event is run by Forres Harriers and Active Schools so your parents are responsible for you – Good Luck Applegrove!

Congratulations to the cross country runners who represented the school yesterday at Gordonstoun. There were separate races for P5, P6 and P7, boys and girls. At the end the boys’ and girls’ results for each year group were totalled together to decide on the team prizes. In each of their races Bruce Evans came 1^st, David Spencer 3^rd, Roslyn McRitchie 5^th, Luca Abbate 5^th, Alistair Clark 6^th, Lewis Mackenzie 7^th, Talia Pearson 8^th, Ashley Donald 10^th. This means the P6 team won the trophy for their age group and P7 came second. Well done everyone, not only for your successful performance but also for your excellent behaviour.
